CN3791 · MPPT SOLAR CHARGER · 6V / 9V / 12V VERSIONS
Match the Charger Version to Your Solar Panel
Select the dedicated 6V, 9V or 12V module for the corresponding nominal solar-panel voltage, then charge one 3.7V lithium cell with CN3791 MPPT control.
Important: 6V, 9V and 12V are separate sales versions. This module does not provide a user-selectable 6–12V input setting.
CORRECT VERSION SELECTION
Choose by Nominal Panel Voltage
Match the module version to the nominal voltage marked on the solar panel before connecting the system.

MPPT CONTROL
Track the Panel's Available Power
The CN3791 controller automatically follows the solar panel's maximum power point as available output changes, then manages charging for one 3.7V lithium cell.

SINGLE-CELL CHARGING
Charge One 3.7V Lithium Cell
Constant-current and constant-voltage charging is specified with a 4.2V ±1% constant-voltage level. Charging current is set through an external resistor and supports up to 2A.
2A MaximumThe actual charging current depends on available solar power, current setting, battery state and thermal conditions.
4.2V ±1%Specified constant-voltage charging level for one 3.7V lithium cell.
300kHz PWMSpecified switching frequency for the charging controller.
CHARGE MANAGEMENT
Support Across the Charging Cycle
The module includes trickle charging for a deeply discharged cell, automatic recharge, soft start, charging and charge-complete status indication, and battery-terminal overvoltage protection.
1. Deeply Discharged CellTrickle-charging support
2. Normal ChargingConstant-current / constant-voltage process
3. Recharge ConditionAutomatic charging restart support
Exact trickle-current values, recharge thresholds, timing data and status-indicator colors are not specified.
PARALLEL PH2.0 PORTS
Multiple Connection Points for Cleaner Wiring
Three interconnected 2-pin ports are provided on the SOLAR IN side, and three interconnected 2-pin ports are provided on the BAT/GND side.
SOLAR IN SideVIN is the positive solar-panel input; GND is the negative connection.
BAT / GND SideBAT is the positive battery node; GND is negative. A compatible 3.7V load connects in parallel with the battery.
The BAT connection is a shared battery/load node, not a confirmed separate regulated load output.

CONNECTION GUIDE
Check Every Connection Before Power-Up
1. Select the Module VersionMatch the 6V, 9V or 12V module to the solar panel's nominal voltage.
2. Connect the Solar PanelConnect panel positive to VIN and panel negative to GND at SOLAR IN.
3. Connect the BatteryConnect one 3.7V lithium cell to BAT and GND with correct polarity.
4. Connect a Compatible LoadConnect the 3.7V load in parallel with the battery at BAT and GND.
Wiring SafetyDisconnect the solar input before changing wiring. Confirm version, polarity, battery connection and load compatibility before power-up.

2 × PH2.0 cables
Solar panel, lithium battery, load, enclosure, mounting hardware and additional protection board are not included.
IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
Design the Complete System Safely
Battery-terminal overvoltage protection is specified. Battery overdischarge protection, short-circuit protection, output overcurrent protection, reverse-polarity protection, battery-temperature monitoring and solar-input surge protection are not confirmed.
The operating-temperature specification does not indicate waterproofing or weather resistance. Outdoor use requires a suitable enclosure and system-level protection.
